- Summary
- "The Water Cure is the chilling confession of a victim turned villain. Ishmael Kidder is a successful romance novelist. His agent is coming to visit her usually productive client. But Kidder's eleven-year-old daughter has been brutally murdered, and it stands to reason that he must take revenge by any means necessary. The punishment is carried out without guilt, and with the usual equipment - duct tape, rope, and super glue. But how will he explain the noises in the basement to his agent? How does he know he has the right man?" "Percival Everett explores the impact of national excess on individual conscious. He brings together disparate elements of Western philosophy, language theory, and military intelligence as he asks his most provocative question of all: What are we to think in today's America, when society seems to be rewriting all the rules?"--BOOK JACKET.
